When a friend asked me to try this one, I never expected it to be so finger licking good….. Here, I have made some variation to suit my palette and the result was that it tasted as good as KFC, if not even better. The flavourful crust with the succulent pieces is so darn delicious.
Ingredients:
Chicken thighs – 1/2 kg
Egg – 1
Red chillie powder – 1/2 tsp
Buttermilk – 1/4 cup
Salt as needed
Oil for fying (sunflower or corn oil)
For the coating
All Purpose Flour – 2 cups
Garlic powder – 1/2 tsp
Red chillie powder – 1/4 tsp
Pepper powder – 1/4 tsp
Dried Oregano – 1/4 tsp (optional)
Dried Basil – 1/4 tsp (optional)
Salt
Preparation:
Clean and cut the chicken into medium sized pieces. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk, chillie powder, egg and salt. Mix it well and let it marinate for 2 -3 hours.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the ingredients for the coating together well. Do not add water to it.
When you are ready to fry, take a chicken piece from the buttermilk and make sure to drip the excess liquid and dust it well all over with the flour. The chicken should be well coated with the flour. Repeat the process for other pieces too.
Heat oil in a pan. When it is smoking hot, drop the chicken pieces into it. Reduce the flame to medium low and fry for about 5 minutes. When it is golden brown, flip it to the other side and fry well. Remove and transfer the chicken pieces onto a kitchen tissue or plate.
